Cicerone Press Trekking the GR20 Corsica: The High Level Route:
Book SynopsisA guidebook to trekking the GR20 Corsica, widely considered to be the most difficult of Europe’s GR long-distance routes. The 190km (118 mile) trail from Calinzana to Conca traverses the island’s mountainous heart and calls for both fitness and experience. Crossing remote and rugged mountainous terrain, there is plenty of hands-on scrambling and, although it is possible to stay under a roof every night, it is recommended that trekkers carry backpacking kit. The GR20 is presented in 16 stages of 5 to 18km (3–11 miles), with low-level options provided for a number of the stages. It takes around a fortnight to complete. Also included are a handful of excursions to climb neighbouring peaks and link routes for those wishing to join or leave the trail.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The South West Coast Path: 1,000 Mini Adventures
Book SynopsisOften featuring in lists of the world’s best walks, the South West Coast Path is 630 miles long, and passes through two World Heritage Sites. This guide to the path is a modern take on the traditional (turn right at the stile, and follow the footpath to the bridge) guidebook: instead of telling readers where to go step by step, Stephen gives fantastic ideas for what to do as they travel along the path. There are so many amazing adventures and places to visit (some ‘secret’ and some well known) and this guide highlights 1,000 of them, all situated along the route. After an Introduction giving a history of the path and the stories of the people who made it (Why is this path the most popular National Trail? Why is it so closely associated with tales of King Arthur? When is the best time to visit?) the bulk of the book focuses on all the amazing things you can do along the path itself. It is divided into regions, with over 70 adventures/highlights per region: West Somerset, North Devon, Torridge, North Cornwall, South Cornwall, South Hams, Torbay, Teignbridge, East Devon, West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland, Purbeck and Poole. Each region is introduced with a ‘Best For’ section, with the ten best places for secret swims, tidal woods, fossils etc. It then highlights where to go, each place accompanied by basic directions, a short description and postcode/map coordinates. Readers can use this guide whilst walking the path in either direction, and at home when planning – Stephen Neale's engaging writing and beautiful photography make this book a joy to spend time with.Trade ReviewA useful guide for anyone who fancies exploring the route.

Book Synopsis'Blissfully funny, staggeringly informative, a joyful companion' Caroline Quentin'Tells the endlessly fascinating tale of Britain's natural history in a way that makes every delicate detail sparkle with life' Charlie Corbett, author of 12 Birds to Save Your LifeWhen we go for a walk, whether in the countryside or city, we pass through landscapes full of natural beauty and curiosities both visible and invisible - but though we might admire the view, or wonder idly about the name of a flower, we rarely have the knowledge to fully engage with what we see. When we do, our sense of place is expanded, our understanding deepened and we can discover richness in even the most everyday stroll. John Wright has been leading forays around Britain for decades. As an expert forager, he shows people how to identify the edible species that abound - but he also reveals the natural history, stories and science behind our surroundings.

Profile Books Ltd Palestinian Walks: Notes on a Vanishing Landscape
Book SynopsisOver two decades of turmoil and change in the Middle East, steered via the history-soaked landscape of Palestine. This new edition includes a previously unpublished epigraph in the form of a walk. When Raja Shehadeh first started hill walking in Palestine, in the late 1970s, he was not aware that he was travelling through a vanishing landscape. These hills would have seemed familiar to Christ, until the day concrete was poured over the flora and irreversible changes were brought about by those who claim a superior love of the land. Six walks span a period of twenty-six years, in the hills around Ramallah, in the Jerusalem wilderness and through the ravines by the Dead Sea. Each walk takes place at a different stage of Palestinian history since 1982, the first in the empty pristine hills and the last amongst the settlements and the wall. The reader senses the changing political atmosphere as well as the physical transformation of the landscape. By recording how the land felt and looked before these calamities, Raja Shehadeh attempts to preserve, at least in words, the Palestinian natural treasures that many Palestinians will never know.Trade ReviewShehadeh does a tremendous job ... one of the most compelling things you will read this summer. * Scotland on Sunday *He distills his pain and anger into eloquent prose, meticulously counting the ways he loves the land ... Palestinian Walks is no trite exercise in myth-making or propaganda. * Sunday Tribune *Shehadeh is always engaging ... delivering what many activists neglect to mention: the odd, slightly absurd details that really touch people; things that appear off camera, away from news reports. * Independent on Sunday *An important testament to political failure, never more relevant than today. -- Anthony Sattin * Time Out *A new geography has come into being. This beautiful book is not just a guide to the Palestinian present; it is an Israeli album of what is taking place in a faraway land: Palestine. * Ha'aretz *Few Palestinians have opened their minds and hearts with such frankness * New York Book Review *Shehadeh writes beautifully, his language infused with a lyrical, melancholic sense of loss. An important record of a land marked by conflict that is changing everyday * Sunday Telegraph *Towards any proper understanding of history there are many small paths. I strongly suggest you walk with him. -- John BergerPalestinian Walks is a stoic account of a particular place, but one which has universal resonance. The judges felt it made landscape into the essence of politics, and political writing into an art -- John seaton, chair of the Orwell Prize committee, 2008Shehadeh describes howthe destruction of a beloved landscape mirrors the damage to Palestinian identity...lyrical nature-writing with understated political passion * Guardian *Palestinian Walks provides a rare historical insight into the tragic changes taking place in Palestine. -- Jimmy CarterThis is a beautiful book and a sad one. -- Anthony LewisReaders... would do well to reckon with the painful particulars of Shehadeh's account, which is at once gentle and angry, resolute and realistic. * The Nation *
